Just wanted to copy for my own reference what I posted over on ellie's thread...
Hey Ellie, stopped by like you suggested...
Interesting.
Yes, I am not much of a gifts person at all, either. As a matter of fact, they make me a bit uncomfortable.
The thought just occurred to me that maybe H assumes, because it's Valentine's, that if he does anything--it has to be about buying me something. And I know we don't have the money, and, again, neither of us are gift people.
In all honesty, he had asked me first about the ecard thing at the end of last week. That's why I sent him one. He had asked me where you could get some free ones, and at the time, I sent him some links. I halfway thought that I might get one today, although no expectations.
I've also thought that his current lack of interest may be due to the fact that he is still all stressed out. (Depressed might be a better word, actually.) In the past, despite his protestations, he has done things for me on Valentine's.
I like that you told your H about the holiday. And I think this also goes back to something I was saying on my thread earlier, too...about how H says he "doesn't know" what to do to make me happy. Maybe he just needs a bit of a nudge.
